According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global PAN-Based Carbon Fiber Felt market size was valued at US$ 1562 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2127 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.5% during review period.
In 2025, global PAN-Based Carbon Fiber Felt production reached approximately 30k tons , with an average global market price of around US$50 per kg.
PAN-based carbon fiber felt is a nonwoven porous carbon material made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers through stabilization, carbonization, and graphitization processes, followed by needle punching or wet forming. It features excellent high-temperature resistance (operating above 2000°C in inert atmospheres), low thermal conductivity, high specific surface area, good chemical stability, and electrical conductivity. It is widely used in high-temperature furnace insulation, fuel cell gas diffusion layers, electrode materials, and filtration/adsorption applications, serving as a critical functional material in thermal and electrochemical systems.
The upstream of the PAN-based carbon fiber felt industry includes PAN precursor fiber suppliers and petrochemical companies (acrylonitrile providers), as well as equipment manufacturers for carbonization and graphitization furnaces. Representative companies include SGL Carbon and Toray Industries. The midstream consists of carbon fiber and felt manufacturers such as Kureha Corporation and Beijing Great Wall Co., which convert fibers into felt products. Downstream applications include fuel cell companies like Ballard Power Systems, photovoltaic and semiconductor furnace equipment suppliers, metallurgical industries, and environmental filtration sectors, forming a complete value chain from petrochemicals to advanced industrial applications.
